Rolex Zombie

The Rolex Zombie is the collector nickname for the GMT-Master II reference 126713GRNR, the yellow Rolesor GMT that pairs Oystersteel with 18 kt yellow gold under a grey and black Cerachrom bezel. Rolex introduced it at Watches and Wonders in 2023, and it was that muted grey half of the bezel — GRNR is Rolex shorthand for gris and noir — that earned the watch its undead nickname. You will also see the same reference sold as the “Bumblebee,” after its gold-and-black colorway. Both nicknames describe one watch: ref. 126713GRNR, 40 mm, black dial, calibre 3285, on a Jubilee bracelet. Every Zombie below is that reference, listed with its full ref. number, box and papers status, and current availability.

Rolex Zombie Price

The official retail price for the Rolex Zombie GMT-Master II is $20,450 (Rolex US list, ref. 126713GRNR-0001 on Jubilee, as of August 2026). At Watch My Diamonds, the Rolex Zombie GMT-Master II is available at $25,550 — about 25% above retail.

Two things explain the gap between list and market. The 126713GRNR is an allocation watch — authorized dealers rarely have one to sell, and the waitlist pushes buyers to the secondary market. The range above also includes a listing that has already sold, which is deliberate: a piece that recently transacted is a better guide to what the reference is actually worth than an asking price that has sat unmoved for six months. Availability is shown on each listing.

Why Is It Called the “Zombie”?

The nickname comes from the bezel. GRNR is Rolex shorthand for gris and noir — grey and black — and the washed-out grey half of the Cerachrom insert looks lifeless next to the deep black, which collectors quickly labeled “Zombie.” Rolex has never used the name itself. Like “Batman,” “Pepsi,” and “Root Beer,” it came from enthusiast forums and stuck. The model number behind the nickname is 126713GRNR, and the full dial reference is 126713GRNR-0001. If you came looking for an “all gold Zombie,” the 126718GRNR is the watch you want — the same grey and black bezel, but solid gold throughout and priced well above the two-tone.

Rolex Zombie FAQs

What is the model number of the Rolex Zombie?

126713GRNR, written as 126713GRNR-0001 when the dial reference is included. It is a 40 mm GMT-Master II in yellow Rolesor on a Jubilee bracelet.

How much does a Rolex Zombie cost?

Rolex’s list price and our current market range are both shown in the price section above. The reference consistently trades above list on the secondary market because of dealer allocation.

Is the Rolex Zombie still in production?

Yes. The 126713GRNR has been in the Rolex catalog since its 2023 introduction and remains a current-production GMT-Master II in 2026.

Does the Zombie come on an Oyster bracelet?

No. Rolex offers the 126713GRNR on the Jubilee bracelet only. The Oyster bracelet is available on the Oystersteel 126710GRNR “Bruce Wayne,” which is a different reference.

Is the Zombie the same watch as the Bumblebee?

Yes. Both nicknames are used for the two-tone 126713GRNR — “Zombie” for the grey bezel, “Bumblebee” for the gold-and-black colorway. Listings on this page use both names because buyers search for both.
